Separation anxiety at night time

F

Not sure how old your little one is but I did the “pick-up put-down method” personally which is when you pick up your little one when they cry to soothe them then put them back down while they are still awake but have stopped crying and continue til they fall asleep independently. This method is a lot gentler than the other ones which I preferred personally as you don’t need to let your baby cry.

I would choose a method that works for you and stick to it until they are sleep trained which can take a bit so patience is key.

Thanks @Tiara she is 8 months I went through a gentle sleep training at 4 months with her, I’ve tried pick up method but it’s just so many times my back is now killing me from bending over the cot!

Going through exactly the same thing with my 9 month old! We’ve done sleep training & she self soothes but she wakes up in such a state & we have to give her a cuddle & she’s fine! This is normally the beginning of the night it happens more regularly for us (before 12am) then she will sleep through until 6ish

Aw! yeah looking back I remember now-especially when they start getting so much heavier its tough
